Heart of Gold
In the cold damp halls
Dark shadows rushing by
The rain pours outside
Hammering everything
The sun peeks through the clouds
Shining on one person
I see this person
A girl
Perfect like an angel
Sent by God.
Sent by God.
Rare as diamond
Beautiful as gold
Treated like a dog.
Nobody helps at all.
I try and help
I take her hand
And yet
She bites that hand
Tears it to the bone
Leaving me standing
Standing all alone
Girl rare as diamonds
Beautiful as gold
Why must you be
So very cold
I could have helped you
Could have loved you
Yet you cried
No! No! I cannot love you!
You said I am coal
Worthless and burned
You are right
I am coal
And my heart burned bright for you
Girl rare as diamonds
Beautiful as gold
Why must you be
So very cold
Wishing me away
Like a small toad
Ran over by a truck
Left to burn on the pavement
I don’t know
And guess I never will
Why you passed me
Like road kill
Rare as diamonds
Beautiful as gold
Filled with lies
Not yet told
Tales of betrayal
Down to the bone
Girl beautiful as diamonds
Rare as gold
My Heart of obsidian
From the lies that you told ~
